I think it comes down to both Sony making good titles & having the really good exclusives, plenty in all different genres to pique the interest of lots of different types of gamers.
In the last 3 generations I have had 2 consoles each time:
PS1 & N64,
PS2 & XBOX,
PS3 & Wii.
In each instance (IMHO) it's the Sony console that has shined with the others falling well short of my expectations, a large part of that is obviously because those successful games have shown up on each Sony console. I just dont see enough exclusives on the 360 that interest me to warrant the purchase, and i think that shows in the GOTY 08' and the coming titles for PS3 09'.
Its not for everyone, but all i know is when i hear the next Final Fantasy, MGS, GT, God of War games are coming out i cant wait because they never fail to take it up a notch, whereas when I hear about the next Mario game, i just feel a bit jaded about it all.
Just one persons opinion.
